ABOUT *vundle-about*
Vundle is a short cut for Vim bundle and is the Vim plug-in manager.
2. WHY VUNDLE ~
*vundle-why-vundle*
Vundle allows to:
- keep track and configure your scripts right in `.vimrc`
- install configured scripts (aka bundle)
- update configured scripts
- search [all available vim scripts] by name
- clean up from unused scripts
Also *Vundle* :
- manages runtime path of your installed scripts
- regenerates helptags automatically
Vundle takes advantage of [vim-scripts.org](http://vim-scripts.org)
in order to install/search [all available vim scripts]
3. QUICK START ~
*vundle-quickstart*
1) Setup Vundle: >
git clone http://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/vundle.git
2) Configure bundles:
Sample `.vimrc`: >
set nocompatible " be iMproved
filetype off " required!
set rtp+=~/.vim/vundle.git/
call vundle#rc()
" let Vundle manage Vundle
Bundle 'gmarik/vundle'
" My Bundles here:
"
" original repos on github
Bundle 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
Bundle 'Lokaltog/vim-easymotion'
Bundle 'rstacruz/sparkup', {'rtp': 'vim/'}
" vim-scripts repos
Bundle 'L9'
Bundle 'FuzzyFinder'
Bundle 'rails.vim'
" non github repos
Bundle 'git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git'
" ...
filetype plugin indent on " required!
" or
" filetype plugin on " to not use the indentation settings set by plugins
3) Install configured bundles:
Launch `vim`, run >
:BundleInstall
Installing requires [Git] and triggers [Git clone](http://gitref.org/creating/#clone) for
each configured repo to `~/.vim/bundle/`.
4. SCRIPTS ~
*vundle-scripts*
4.1 CONFIGURE SCRIPTS ~
*vundle-scripts-configure* *Bundle*
Before installing scripts they need to be configured. It's done using `Bundle`
command in `.vimrc`: >
Bundle 'git_repo_uri' " 'git_repo_uri' should be a valid uri to git repository
or >
Bundle 'script_name' " 'script-name' should be an official script name (see |vundle-scripts-search| )
Vundle loves Github, that's why short uris can be used with commands: >
Bundle 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
equals full uri >
Bundle 'http://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive.git'
NOTE: Vundle defaults to http:// protocol for the short URIs
4.2 INSTALL SCRIPTS ~
*vundle-scripts-install* *BundleInstall*
run >
:BundleInstall
installs configured scripts. Newly installed scripts will be automatically
enabled. Except special cases requiring compilation or pre-configuration.
BundleInstall allows to install scripts by name:>
:BundleInstall unite.vim
installs and activates unite.vim. You can use Tab to auto-complete known script names.
NOTE: installation, as just described, doesn't automatically configure scripts;
you have to configure them manually.
4.3 UPDATE SCRIPTS ~
*vundle-scripts-update* *BundleInstall!*
run >
:BundleInstall! " NOTE: bang(!)
installs or updates configured scripts.
4.4 SEARCHING ~
*vundle-scripts-search* *BundleSearch*
run >
:Bundles foo " NOTE: plural Bundles not singular Bundle
lists bundles matching 'foo' in new a new split window, ie:
>
Bundle "VimFootnotes"
Bundle "foo.vim"
>
and >
:Bundles! foo
refreshes script list before performing actual search.
If command is run without argument: >
:Bundles!
it will display all known scripts
Searching requires [`curl`](http://curl.haxx.se/)
4.5 LISTING BUNDLES ~
*vundle-scripts-list* *BundleList*
To quickly pull list of configured bundles use >
:BundleList
4.6 CLEANING UP ~
*vundle-scripts-cleanup* *BundleClean*
run >
:BundleClean
requires confirmation before removal of unused script-dirs from your `.vim/bundle`.
*BundleClean!*
>
:BundleClean!
removes unused scripts with no questions.
*vundle-interactive*
5. INTERACTIVE MODE ~
Vundle provides simple interactive mode to help you explore new scripts easily.
Interactive mode is available as result of :Bundles command. For instance, running: >
:Bundles! unite
triggers search for scripts matching 'unite' and yields a split window with
content: >
"Keymap: i - Install bundle; c - Cleanup; r - Refine list; R - Reload list
"Search results for: unite
Bundle 'unite.vim'
Bundle 'unite-yarm'
Bundle 'unite-gem'
Bundle 'unite-locate'
Bundle 'unite-font'
Bundle 'unite-colorscheme'
As the first line(starting with `"Keymap:`) shows
certain Vundle commands can be triggered with single keypress, ie:
KEY | DESCRIPTION
----|-------------------------- >
i | run :BundleInstall with name taken from line cursor is positioned on
c | run :BundleCleanup
r | refine list; requires a string to refine list with
R | fetch fresh script list from server
Now move cursor over line `Bundle 'unite.vim'` and press i key(install).
After unite.vim script is installed - `:Unite file` command should be
available to prove 'unite.vim' availability.
NOTE: Interactive installation doesn't update your .vimrc configuration.
